A product of the Otis elevator Company.
They are pretty much the same as the other forklift of the day. The only parts in the machines that were made by the name of the forklift was the chasis and maybe the mast. Baker was considered one of the better ones of the era with the Yale being the most popular and haveing the best designs. Hyster of that era was a total POS poorley designed and didnt come out with a very good machine till 62 or 63. Herc engines are the worst of the major engines to get as the parts for them must be formed in an allchemist lab instead of a factory (alchemists= a sorcerer's magic culldron changing metal to GOLD). Best engine is the old Cry industrial six, parts for these can be had at the corner drug store. You will find drive train commom between all of the older forklifts.
drive axels by Eaton, Yale, Clark, Gears by Warner, Clark, Bendix. Propane is a real pain to have unless you need it for lots of inside use. This thing would have to be as cheap as dirt for me to buy it. I would keep looking for the better era of the mid 60s machines, it just happen to be the "break through era" of modern design.
